During the various discussions regarding the Unofficial Guild of Writers (see Sources in next post), two dimensions of structure have been introduced:
1. Position: different categories of membership and responsibility, based on either experience or election. Note: this was formerly labelled as "rank" but was changed to eliminate confusion.
2. Department: grouping of members according to speciality/skill (also referred to as "sub-guilds" or "committees")
Each age creation team would include people from various positions and sections.
Note: When creating an organization, there are automatically two "positions" at the start:- Non-members: can access the public areas of the UGoW site (referred to as "supporter" or "apprentice")
- Members: can join an age creation team within the UGoW (referred to as "guild cadet") Note: people become members according to the guidelines established in the membership thread.
Previously, I had erroneously listed them as choices below. But because they are automatic, they are not subject to debate. What is debatable are further distinctions of the members: what positions they have and whether to categorize them according to skills.
Please select your answers by responding to this post, and I'll put your name next to the answers you selected. In this way, we'll reach a consensus about the structure of the UGoW.
